Description

A giant crayfish has a body rather similar to that of a lobster in overall design, but unlike lobsters, giant crayfish live in shallow fresh water areas. They are predatory, and like to lie in wait underwater to ambush prey. In such a situation the giant crayfish gains surprise on 1-4 on 1d6 (1-3 vs. aquatic opponents already submerged in the same body of water).
